Please Note: Since math is a sequential subject, course prerequisites must be satisfied. In many instances, students are scheduled for math course too early in the school year to determine whether or not they have fulfilled all necessary prerequisites for a math course. If it is determined at a later date that a student has not satifsfied all prerequisites for a math course, the student will be rescheduled from that course to a more appropriate one.
